Author: Sassoferrato
Il Sassoferrato: Devout Beauty reconstructs, for the first time, the creative process of Giovan Battista Salvi, known as Sassoferrato (1609-85), from drawing to finished work. The studies presented in this volume examine how Sassoferrato developed his sparse, archaising style, the patrons he served and the extent of his influence in the artistic debates of the 19th century (favoured by the Purists and Nazarenes and critiqued by John Ruskin, Sassoferrato's pictures found new life).Il Sassoferrato charts the painter's trajectory and his forging, via the example of Raphael, of a unique style as far removed from Baroque theatricality as it was from Caravaggio-esque naturalism.
